Chapter 6

Laura’s thought was in a mess after her mom told her about her ex, Kevin coming over. She wondered what he wanted from her because it has been a long time since they broke up. She never had the intention of breaking up with him because she loved him a lot. Up until now, she still feels something for him but he had his issues.

Kevin was a very handsome guy with black hair and grey eyes. He was a well built guy, twenty seven years of age and much taller than Scott at six feet two inches tall.

They had been childhood friends who later turned lovers. He cared a lot about her, that Laura was sure of, but what she couldn’t handle in their relationship was his anger. Kevin had serious anger issues and she was scared he’d hurt her someday, that was the reason she ended their relationship.

“Kevin, haven’t you found it yet?” Laura asked walking out of the bathroom adjusting her gown while Kevin was turning the room upside down, searching for the keys to his black Lamborghini

“If you can’t find it, we can use the Ferrari. I don’t want us to be late for the dinner, you know mom would get angry if we arrive late.” she said already getting impatient because they would arrive late by the looks of things

Kevin ignored her and kept looking for the keys, cursing under his breath.

“Kevin!”

“Just shut up okay and let me concentrate!” he yelled and threw the night lamp at her.

Laura flinched at his sudden outburst and quickly ducked, lucky that she wasn’t hit by the lamp as her eyes were already teary.

“I was only giving a suggestion.” she said hurt by his reaction.

“It’s mom forty fifth birthday and it means a lot to her, that’s why I don’t want us to be late.”

Laura was already in tears while saying this. She was now shaken just thinking about his action. She wondered what would’ve become of her if the lamp had hit her. She didn’t know why they had to always end up in this state over petty issues.

Kevin was now sitting on the bed with his hands on his face. He was embarrassed by his action. He couldn’t believe he screwed up again. How was he going to apologize now? He stood up and walked towards her.

“Baby, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to…”

She flinched at his touch.

“Don’t touch me!” she said while taking some steps away from him.

“You know what? Just forget about us.”

Kevin couldn’t believe what he just heard.

“Lau..”

“Just stop okay!” she stopped him before he could say anything.

“I don’t want to hear a word you have to say, Kevin. We’ve gone through this before but nothing has changed… you promise to be better each time but you only get worse and I’m sick of it!” she said and walked out of the room, going into another room.

Laura cried the whole night. She couldn’t understand why he wouldn’t change. She loves him so much but has to end the relationship. They can’t go on living this way. Kevin was getting more violent with each passing day.

That night, they ended up not going to her mom’s birthday dinner party.

The next day, Laura packed her things to leave, Kevin apologized and tried to stop her from leaving but her mind was already made up. She didn’t want to one day end up in the hospital.

Laura shivered at the memory, it still had an effect on her. She decided she needed to get some sleep and stop overstressing her brain because she needed to rest. That was the reason she came here and not to bring back old memories that weren’t pleasant.
